We had some interesting stats regarding home sales last month in Waldo–a double digit drop in the median sold price! However, the year-to-date figures are more consistent so let’s look at the specifics. I’m tracking single family home sales with the boundaries of Gregory to 85th St; State Line to Holmes:
| august 2025 | august 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Median list price: | $270,000 | $350,000 |
| Median sales price: | $277,500 | $355,000 |
| Days on market: | 8 | 4 |
| No. of homes sold: | 30 | 32 |
You can see that the median sales price dropped almost 28% from August 2024! Now the homes in Waldo cover a wide range of prices; from small $200K homes through $600K. So last August, we had more of the upper priced homes close in Waldo. In fact last month, the lowest closed price was $143,000 and the highest was $670,000. Here are the year-to-date numbers:
| jan-aug 2025 | jan-aug 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Median list price: | $300,000 | $299,000 |
| Median sales price: | $301,000 | $305,500 |
| Days on market: | 5 | 3 |
| No. of homes sold: | 207 | 184 |
These numbers show a slight drop in home values for the year, with 11% more homes selling so far. Currently there are 26 active single family homes listed in Waldo, with a median list price of $308,725 and 29 days on the market.
